Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Glendale Springs, NC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glendale Springs provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
